Commissioners set to back tiny Moulton inholding swap in Grand Teton

Teton County commissioners are set to sign off on a small land cleanup inside Grand Teton National Park, backing an in-kind exchange of a 0.12-acre private parcel near Moulton for a 0.12-acre National Park Service parcel elsewhere in the park boundary, according to the draft support letter in the meeting materials. Letter of Support for NPS Land Exchange Moulton.

This is the kind of postage-stamp swap most people never notice until it shows up on a map, but it is how the park slowly reduces private inholdings and simplifies future management. If you care about access, the detail to watch is whether either parcel touches a trail, road, or river corridor, because that is where “equal acres” can still mean very different public outcomes. The letter itself does not include a map or describe on-the-ground recreation impacts, it just states the exchange is within the legislated park boundary and that the board “has no objection.”
